TaylorMade R7 Line Appeals To Your Eyes


This year they have revised their R7 line with the new models. For current TaylorMade fans, this is a newer, more stylish version of driver that is not only appealing to the eye, but the golf game as well.

The topline is quite chunky with some offset but again, it doesn’t seem to be too exaggerated or extreme in anyway. All in all it looks exactly like what it is, a game improvement iron built to get the ball up in the air. The r7 CGB (centre-of-gravity back) MAX irons refer to the clubs’ low and deep centre of gravity to encourage improved launch conditions, while the ‘MAX’ refers to clubhead and ball speed as well as forgiveness, says TaylorMade, adding they are the ultimate in game-improvement iron. The taylormade r7 irons is a Game Improvement iron with a deep cavity aimed at mid-high handicappers. It’s super easy to hit high and straight and the lofts are pretty strong, so distance is also good. The center of gravity and MOI are aligned between the hybrids and the short irons for consistent yardage gaps throughout the set. When we say "advancing the category," this is what we mean. Adams has been at the forefront of the hybrid movement, and this set is the latest example. The clubs also feature the exclusive ICT design with tuned performance cartridge (TPC) technology used in the rac oversize (OS2) and low trajectory (LT) irons, enabling engineers to strengthen the loft of each iron, lower the ball flight and deliver a more powerful and penetrating trajectory.

The R7 is a 400CC, full titanium driver with a .830 COR rating (there is actually a .860 COR version as well). The driver comes with two 10 gram weights and two 2 gram weights. These give the player 24 grams of weight that they can put wherever they like. The r7 features 28 grams of movable weight divided between four widely spaced TaylorMade Launch Control (TLC) ports, allowing for a lateral shift in CG position of up to 5 millimeters. While the size change from the r7 to 425 is relatively minor, there are a few other changes that stand out in this revision. First are the changes to the Movable Weight Technology (MWT).
The taylormade r7 driver is obviously designed for golfers who have trouble keeping the ball away from the right side of the golf course. Traditionally, three methods have been used: heel weighting, a closed face, or offset. TaylorMade opted to use the first two in the r7. The drive is certainly worth the money.

The Taylormade r7 cgb max driver also has a bright yellow stripe on the outer sole. The lack of weight ports simplifies the look of the club somewhat over the r7 425/460, yielding one of TaylorMade's tamest looking drivers in recent years. The stock shaft for the R7 is the TaylorMade M.A.S. 2 7-65. It is a decent graphite shaft and most mid to high handicaps find it to be a good fit for their game. TaylorMade has some good upgrade shafts and their prices are pretty good. After a trajectory is chosen, the 425 makes it easier to achieve that trajectory over and over, thanks in part to the club's exceptionally high MOI and its large 425cc head. Not only did it lower the center of gravity, but it also allowed TaylorMade to increase the size of the head and build up the TLC ports while more traditional drivers can't spare the weight. A better player with a consistent swing can really benefit from this driver. This driver feels great, is very long and just as forgiving as any 460cc driver out there. It has a solid feel and, after a year with a G2, the head looks real good to me at address.
